Oxford Centre for History of Science, Medicine and Technology

The Oxford Centre for the History of Science, Medicine and Technology (HSMT) was created in 2017 in order to build on the teaching and research capacity of the numerous historians working on HSMT subjects in Oxford-based projects and in various museums, colleges and faculties. Housed in the History Faculty, we are uniquely broad in our chronological and geographical expertise. We cover HSMT from the Ancient World to the modern era, and do so on a global scale. We have particular expertise in the history of global and colonial medicine, and in the history of science and technology from 1500 to 1900.
